Val and Jim and the Biltmore

Feb.2-5We had the absolute delight  staying with Jim and Val for a long weekend.  I met Val many years ago in Colorado at a party of a mutual friend and we've been friends since.  The military and life made it such that we haven't seen each other for six  years.  Val has always been the wind beneath my wings and the kind of friend that has always encouraged and built me up.  What a joy to get to know Jim more and to have Mark, Janae and Stefan get to know them.  They absolutely spoiled us with wonderful meals, great movies, inspiring conversations and a trip to the Biltmore. We even had lunch in a renovated horse stall.  Janae and Stefan had their own loft bedroom complete with Val serving them breakfast and a movie every morning.  They did not want to leave.  Spoiling me rotten, Val had peach roses waiting for me by my bed.  The aroma of roses and good friends does wonders for the soul and our souls all felt lifted and revitalized after our visit.  A special treat was worshiping together Sunday morning and learning about Jim's passion for the Jewish people.
